A woman's life goes through hormonal changes. Hormones play a role in physical and emotional health throughout our lives from puberty and menstrual cycles, pregnancy, postpartum, perimenopause and menopause.
PMS is a condition that can affect many women, causing brief changes in their moods before the onset of their periods. Slightly more emotional, tired or irritable in some for a few days. But in some people, these feelings of change are stronger and start to impact relationships, work, activities and quality of life.
Some conditions can cause emotional and physical symptoms in the lead up to menstruation, like Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS) and Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD). Women might feel moody, get irritated, anxious, sad, angry, cry, tired, unsteady or not concentrate well, or have changes in eating or sleeping habits. Typically, these symptoms clear up once menstruation starts, but they may recur during each period.
Many women may not seek professional advice as they're told these experiences are "just hormones. Hormonal shifts can impact emotional well-being; if they are more severe and last longer, it is important not to ignore it. It is important to understand what is going on in order to find the right help.
We believe that the interplay between brain health, hormonal changes, sleep, lifestyle, nutrition and overall physical health all have an impact on women's emotional wellbeing at Manovaidya. We're not just interested in the monthly symptoms; we want to find out what's really happening with each woman.
Under the guidance of Dr. Ankush Garg, Autism, ADHD, Child Development & Mental Health Specialist in India, Manovaidya adopts the Neuro-Ayurveda Development System to enable women to gain a more nuanced understanding of hormonal changes in mood, PMS, PMDD and emotional well-being through a systematic assessment and tailored holistic treatment.
Understanding the pattern that triggers a return of mood swings, anxiety, irritability or emotional changes before every period and that this interferes with daily life is a first step towards support.
Hormones can affect mood, sleep, energy, emotional balance, relationships and daily functioning.
Hormones affect numerous body processes such as energy, sleep, emotional balance and mood.
Hormones like estrogen and progesterone can impact emotional health in some women at various times of the menstrual cycle.
Moderate emotional changes are normal, but when emotional changes are a recurring problem that is impacting work, relationships or daily functioning, it is time to seek professional help.
Many women who are looking for Hormonal Mood Changes Treatment in India, PMS Treatment, PMDD Symptoms, Mood Swings Before Period or Hormonal Mental Health are trying to understand whether or not their symptoms are a normal part of their hormonal changes or they are a symptom of a condition that needs to be assessed.

What is Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS)
Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS) is a range of physical, emotional and behavioural changes which happen during the days leading up to menstruation.
A small number of women will suffer from some degree of PMS at some time during their life. If symptoms are more severe or start to interfere with everyday activities, however, there may be a need for further assessment.
What is Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD)?
Emotional symptoms of PMDD can be severe and impact on work, relationships and day to day activities before menstruation.
PMDD is known as a medical condition and should be assessed by a competent health care provider.

Factors under the influence of hormones and brain chemistry.
Symptoms may be affected by hormonal changes, brain chemistry and a person's sensitivity to hormonal changes.
Family history, history of depression and/or anxiety and the recurrent patterns of emotions can impact the severity of symptoms.
Poor sleep, chronic stress, lifestyle factors, physical health and nutrition factors can impact upon PMS and PMDD symptoms.
There is currently evidence that symptoms can occur as a result of a combination of hormonal fluctuation, brain chemistry, genetics and personal sensitivity to hormonal fluctuations.
Factors affecting each person's symptoms are important to understand to provide individualised care.
Why Early Recognition Matters
Recognising hormonal mood changes early allows women to strengthen emotional resilience, improve coping strategies and reduce its impact on emotional and physical wellbeing.
Early recognition of mood changes due to hormones empower women to build emotional resilience, enhance coping mechanisms and minimize the impact of such changes on emotional and physical health.
Most women experience some form of emotional symptom each month, but they're not aware of the fact that this could be a clue to PMS or PMDD.
Early awareness of these changes helps women to know what to look for, seek for professional assessment and discuss individual strategies for managing the symptoms with the doctor before symptoms become severe and impact relationships, employment, emotional health or quality of life.
How PMS & PMDD Can Affect Daily Life
A woman's menstrual cycle is not the only thing that can be affected by hormonal mood swings. In some women emotional and physical symptoms become so severe that it affects their work, family life, relationships and daily activities.
A lot of women still go about their business, but silently endure monthly mood swings. With repeated symptoms, there may be loss of confidence, productivity and quality of life over time.
By identifying these changes it supports women to realise that if they continue to experience emotional symptoms they should seek some attention and support, rather than ignore them as "normal".
These symptoms tend to happen on the days leading up to the period and typically get better once the period starts.
Physical symptoms can also be caused by hormonal changes.
If symptoms of the body continue or are severe, always seek the advice of a trained health care professional to exclude any other health condition.
Excessive sleepiness or drowsiness following sleep.
PMS or PMDD can have an impact on mood changes, which can affect communication and relationships.
Being able to appreciate the changes can make it easier for families and partners to react with empathy and support.
Identifying patterns can assist women to find the right kind of support and make health decisions.
PMS vs PMDD
PMS
- Usually milder and more common before periods
- Usually improves shortly after menstruation begins
- May affect comfort but often allows daily functioning
PMDD
- Involves more severe emotional symptoms
- Can significantly interfere with work, relationships and daily life

While the symptoms are similar, PMS and PMDD vary in how severe they are and how they affect people.
